Jayden Daniels, a star quarterback, is facing criticism for sending a cease-and-desist letter to his alma mater, Louisiana State University (LSU), over the use of his name, image, and likeness. The New York Mets joined the masses on the internet who have made fun of Daniels for his actions.
The Controversy
Daniels, who won the Heisman Trophy with LSU in 2023, and his camp reportedly felt that head coach Lane Kiffin allowing DJ Pickett to wear his No. 5 jersey was ‘disrespectful.’ The former LSU star quarterback posted a statement on social media about the situation, stating that he has been focused on training camp and that there are issues to be worked out between his team and LSU.
The Mets took a shot at Daniels on social media, saying ‘Stopped at 4 out of respect for Jayden Daniels’ after their 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals. StubHub, a ticketing website, also joked about the situation, saying they will no longer offer tickets in groups of five out of respect for Daniels.
